Our colleagues over at 365 Albums A Year reviewed AZ’s Murray-acclaimed 1995 Doe or Die album, and it’s definitely worth a read for fans of his work/our own Throwback Thursdays.
This is an 8-track mixtape/EP, which is unlike anything Mickey has done before in terms of concept. “While the world awaits the sun to rise to begin life, we await it to fall to become alive. The shadows is our solitude and catalyst for true art and thought. Amongst it, we are not damned nor idolized. Therefore we can only be true to ourselves. And from that, the world will eventually seek light and understanding. – The Dark Phoenix”
Right, onto this post: I get through a lot of albums weekly, and unfortunately just don’t have the time to do as many reviews as I’d like. They take a huge amount of time, which is pretty hard to come by. Don’t fret though, as I will have some coming up very soon (the assignments are nearly done!) and to tie you over I’ve written some mini-reviews on albums I’ve given a spin recently. Click below to swarm yourself in my warped opinions.
I’ve had a whirlwind romance with Quietdrive, having been introduced to them a little over a year ago. At the time, I was fully back into hip-hop, so for these guys to pull me back towards alternative music was a testament to the quality of their music. Alternative heads will be clicking on I’m sure, but I recommend that urban music followers give this a read too. Isn’t that the whole point of this site?
How do you review a piece of music that is supposed to be treated as a ‘movie’? Well, I figured it out. Click below to hop along on Kid Cudi’s emotional rollercoaster. → Continue Reading Kid Cudi-Man On The Moon: The End of Day Review
In an environment full of meaningless, formulaic and homogeneous R&B, there are one or two artists who still try to stick true to what the genre is supposed to be all about. Step forward Trey Songz. Already two albums deep, Trey’s phenomenal natural gift is back on show with his third effort, Ready.
I’m delighted that Joe chose to switch this from a short EP to a full-length album. It’s always good to have a body of material from him, and much like his previous releases, this doesn’t disappoint. Click below for the review!
You’re not the only one. For once, those who shape the charts have done some good, and Maxwell’s first release since 2001 (8 years is a LONG time in music!) went straight to #1 in the USA. Whether you’ve heard of Maxwell or not, click below, if only for the sake of good music and broadening your horizons.
Following on from one of my previous posts, today sees the release of the much anticipated album from Maino. Coming from a select few of Brooklyn MC’s (Saigon, Papoose etc.) who have been on the mixtape scene for the last 5 years or so, Maino is the first one of these rappers to have his album (If Tomorrow Comes) actually released! |
